About the new sighting. We begin with a look at what could be an important day in the georgia interference case against former President Donald Trump and his 18 codefendants, and all 19 people charged with conspiring to overturn the results of the president ial election there are scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow, but only two of them, former white house Chief Of Staff, mark meadows, and former Coffee County director, have entered a plea. The proceedings in Fulton CountySuperior Court will be conducted now on camera. Garrett haake has been covering the trump investigations, and milea whily, president of the Leadership Conference on civil and human rights. Garrett, most of the defendants wont be there so what can we expect things to look like tomorrow . We could end up in a situation where none of the defendants are present, and theres still time for the last two remaining defendants who have not filed a waiver in the case to do so. If georgia, if you already have surrendered and been processed, you dont have to be present. Of course, were waiting on mark meadows. Remember, he testified and pushed in a separate hearing to have his case moved to Federal Court, arguing his role in all of this as the white house Chief Of Staff meant that it should be a federal judge and federal judges that over see the case, and we have not seen a decision in that Point Of Order in this case, and we may not by tomorrow so its possible we could see mark meadows filing his not guilty plea, via a waiver. Theres a lot of paperwork in that courtroom tomorrow. What is the strategy for those that decided not to waive their arraignment . Well, one of the major issues here is how you want to be depicted in the public. How you want to show up. Part of this will be theater, theater in what i mean is not the arraignment itself, necessarily, but what will follow in terms of public statements and public appearances, and its shocking to some degree, because if you are a criminal Defense Attorney this is not what you want to see. We know with mark meadows and misty hampton, we are starting to see something akin to trying to make sure they can, in the case of mark meadows, and in others, sean hill, kathy latham, trying to get into a Federal Court and get possibly friendlier jurors. They dont want to be displayed on television, particularly when they are trying to hold out to look innocent. Theres no longer two but one left, right, jose . Yeah, since we have been on the air, mark meadows just filed his paperwork to waive his arraignment and plead not guilty. Its not surprising following the pattern of the rest of the codefendants. Hes separate from any of the other codefendant, of course, still waiting on a decision if his case would separately move to Federal Court. It is just the matter of paperwork here, and Mark Meadows Pleading not guilty via waiver in georgia. And some of trumps codefendants are starting to turn against him . How concerned should he be about them turning on them, if they, indeed, too . Well, a case in which the allegations are you are part of a criminal enterprise is to say, no, i am not, that is that guy. In this case, if you are a mark meadows or kathy latham, the two saying get he out of the state court, and mark meadows saying i was doing what i was told to do by the United States president , and thats a way of distancing yourself and thats not a way of saying nothing wrong happened here. Theres a lot of legal incentive to do that. To garretts point, there will be an interesting and important decision made, and not just mark meadows, but he is alleged to have stood in the position of the campaign and said to the state of georgia, we will help you with Campaign Funds to speed the count, and thats not Somebody Acting as a Chief Of Staff to a sitting president , thats Somebody Acting for a partisan and politician. Thats not the peoples business, thats political business. And latham doesnt even have that argument, because she didnt serve in the white house. It will be interesting to see how it plays out when that judge decides whether or not to allow the removal, and that will be an indicator of whether or not donald trump will have success or failure doing the same thing. And garrett haake, thank you. We have Breaking News in alabama where just this morning a panel of three federal judges struck down the states latest Congressional District map and said it violates the Voting Rights act, and a Special Master have now been directed to draw a new map. What is your reaction to this . This is a huge victory for democracy. Its not the end of the road. We know there may be an appeal, but the reason theres a victory for democracy is because what we saw in alabama was simply something the court itself found, a federal judge found, was unconstitutional, and it was an effort to deny black voters their voice on getting somebody and deciding who represents them. Remember, alabama just has one Congressional District that is majority minority, one member of congress, and he has been an activist for Voting Rights, and to expand the Seats Available to black voters. The reason it matters in alabama is its not just alabama, first of all, it was louisiana. We saw four different courts, georgia, ohio, alabama, louisiana, say there has been tampering with the ability of black people to have a say in who gets elected to office. In alabama there was literally 80,000 more black voters added to the voting roles the increase in population, i should say, and not voting rolls, and there was a gerrymandered district, and thats what even the supreme court, which has not been a friend to Voting Rights said it was unconstitutional and discriminated against people who were black. Thank you for being with us. Turning to washington, where the former chairman of the farright group, the proud boys, is set to get sentenced today. He will be the final proud boys leaders sentenced after three other members were issued between 15 to 18 years behind bars, and federal prosecutors are seeking a 33yearsentence for him. And joining us from outside the Federal Courthouse in washington, d. C. Is ken dilanian. What are we expecting to hear today . Reporter well, one thing that is fairly certain is that prosecutors are not going to get the 33 years they are seeking if last week is any guide. His codefendants, other proud boys, were sentenced between 15 and 18 years even though prosecutors asked for similarly lengthy sentences, and the proud boys are said to be instrumental in the insurrection, because they were responsible for the broken windows and breached doors, and even though he was not there that day, he had been arrested and ordered out of the city, prosecutors introduced Text Messages and Group Chat Messages showing him cheering on and instructing his followers from afar, and afterwards said, make no mistake, we did this. The proud boys thought of themselves as trumps army, to keep joe biden out of the white house, and trump in power, and they were starting to go to the capitol even before donald trump gave that famous speech on the ellipse. It may well be that he gets the longest sentence of any january 6th defendant, which if he gets 19 years, that would make it the longest sentence, and its interesting to note, prosecutors are appealing the sentences handed down to the oath keepers, and it will be interesting to see if they appeal the sentence handed down by the judge. Thank you. Up next, what the kremlin is saying today about a reported meeting between Vladimir Putin and kim jongun, and how that could affect the war in ukraine.

This morning, first lady, jill bidens resting in delaware after she tested positive for covid yesterday. Shes experiencing only mild symptoms. The white house also said President Biden tested negative before returning to the white house and he will continue to test regularly. Joining us now is our white house correspondent. Monica alba. We are going to see if there will be a domino affect. We understand the president will continue to be tested and we are not sure if that is once every 24 hours or more regularly than that, because he has a normal public schedule today. He will be honoring An Army Captain later in the white house and its unclear what other precautions will take place. He was with The First Lady yesterday before leaving for philadelphia, and over the weekend they were together and went to florida to survey the hurricane aftermath. The first lady went to various states to do a backtoschool tour, and she was supposed to start teaching herself today at a Community College in the area where we know she has been teaching for sometime. I am told by The First Ladys office they are working with the Community College to get a Substitution Teacher for that classes, and she will continue to be monitored by the white house medical team. The president is scheduled to leave for india and vietnam on thursday to that high stakes g20 summit. We will need to have an answer of how hes doing, and whether there are any symptoms. The white house will give some answers, we hope, later today. Last summer both the president and first lady did Test Positive at slightly different times and they had rebound cases from paxlovid, that drug that is supposed to severity on covid. We are trying to figure out if The First Lady will take that again as she hopes to recover quickly. Monica alba, thank you so much. North Koreas Kim JongunMay Soon Travel To Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin so they can figure out how to support russias war in ukraine. He said he had nothing to say on this topic. The spokesperson released a Statement Reading in parted, quote, we urge north korea to seize its Arm Conversation in russia and not provide or sell arms to russia. And joining us now, keir simmons. What is the significance of this possible meeting . Well, i think its a big deal for russia because north korea has a good deal of russian munitions that russia would, i think, easy guess, would like to have in its war with ukraine. I think its also important because it signifies as far as moscow is concerned, its preparing itself for a war of attrition, and thats some of the messaging from the Biden White House is to expect something along those lines. This is further confirmation of that. It would not be the first time president Vladimir Putin and kim jongun met like this, and in fact, back in 2019 we were there when kim jongun travelled by train to the far eastern area on the Pacific Coast of russia. Its likely, and the New York Times is reporting overnight, that would be the case, that the plan would be that kim jongun would do that again. Its possible the Biden White House made known it knows about this meeting and was trying to prevent it, and because we know kim jongun is concerned about security, and so jose, ultimately, what this indicates is this continuing partnership between russia and north korea and factor in china there, just earlier in the year the Financial Times reported kim jongun take part in the navel exercises with china, and we have seen them talk about the building of the alternative without the same from the u. S. , and this indicates more of that. And also, you are following a major shakeup in ukraine with president zelenskyy replacing his Defense Minister . Thats right. Again, that is going to suggest to many observers that ukraine is in this for the long haul, and you can see this is going to be a long battle, and they say they have been making important progress, but slow progress in the counter offensive. It doesnt look terrific for ukraine to defense the Minister Council in the middle of the of this, and it suggests everybody has not been playing straight by that Defense Minister, and there are so many potential reasons for it. Again, the overall picture, i thinks we are looking at a conflict now that will last a long time, potentially, and think about this, a conflict that is going to be inherited by whoever is the next president and serves the next term as president of the United States. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Up next, our own Steve Kornacki is here with the brandnew 2024 polling and showing where the republicans stand in the race for the president.
